[SRU] activemq fails to start on Ubuntu 12.04

To get sync requests into the review queue, please subscribe 'ubuntu-sponsors'. I just did this.

I had a brief look at this and syncing from Debian would mean that we drop the 'junit4' build-depends which would cause the build to fail. It looks like this needs to be merged.

Hi, Daniel is right, Debian package fails to build in Quantal because junit4.

Could you prepare a merge?

Cheers,

I am running 5.5.0+dfsg-6ubuntu1 and have this very issue right out of the box. It basically renders the activemq package useless as it won't start.

For example:
/etc/activemq$ sudo service activemq console main
 * Starting with Console ActiveMQ instance main INFO: Loading '/usr/share/activemq/activemq-options'
INFO: Using java '/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk//bin/java'
INFO: Starting in foreground, this is just for debugging purposes (stop process by pressing CTRL+C)
ERROR: '/usr/share/activemq/bin/run.jar' does not exist

3.2.0-23-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP Tue Apr 10 20:39:51 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 12.04 LTS"

Thanks!

Manually installing libactivemq-java_5.5.0+dfsg-7_all.deb and activemq_5.5.0+dfsg-7_all.deb from Debian makes activemq start on Ubuntu 12.04. A merge is all that is needed.

I'll work on the merge.

Unsubscribing the sponsors team as there doesn't seem to be anything to sponsor just yet. Propose your branch for merging when it is ready, and that will put this back into the sponsorship queue.

Thanks!

Should I re-subscribe the sponsors team one I set it to merge?

As Ubuntu 12.04 is now release the fix for precise will need to go through the Stable Release Update process.

This constitutes a minimal change to the version that is already in Ubuntu 12.04 rather than a merge from Debian Testing.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates for more information.

This bug was fixed in the package activemq - 5.5.0+dfsg-7
Sponsored for kroq-gar78 (kroq-gar78)

Since it doesn't work at all in Precise, syncing the latest from Quantal might make sense? The packaging seems pretty flaky in the current release..

I'll just do all of the SRU-report stuff on this bug report's description. Tell me if you want me to file a separate one instead.

Untill this is merged in - is there a temporary solution to get activemq running on precise?

Kristian,

Sorry about that. I thought I filled in the info at the top, but it turns out I didn't. I'll update the description. Once I do that, look in the "Stable Fix" field there.

Sincerely,
kroq-gar78

What's the status of the SRU? will it be uploaded in the coming days?

This bug is targeted to the point release and time is running out to get stuff in on time.

Really sorry about that. I've filled out the SRU and will resubmit my merge request.

I re-subscribed Ubuntu Sponsors because I re-proposed the merge.

Uploaded to -proposed and subscribed SRU team for review.

Thanks for you contribution!

activemq (5.5.0+dfsg-6ubuntu1.1) precise-proposed; urgency=low

  * debian/libactivemq-java.poms: added the option '--java-lib' to
    core components so that the required jar files are installed to
    /usr/share/java, allowing activemq to startup (LP: #993249). Fix
    cherry picked from 5.5.0+dfsg-7 packaging.
